Abstract
In a distributed computing system, an end terminal transmits a job execution request to a job scheduler, which in response determines a resource and a job execution period necessary for executing a job on the resource based on contents of the job indicated in the message. A reservation request message containing the job execution period and the resource identity is sent from the job scheduler to a target resource proxy. The resource proxy determines a scheduled period of the resource based on the job execution period by checking its schedule memory, and transmits a reservation response to the job scheduler. The job scheduler acquires a certificate signed by the user from the end terminal and transmits the acquired certificate to the resource proxy. In response to the certificate of the user, the resource proxy makes a reservation of the identified resource according to the scheduled period.
